Too many concepts are nothing by styling exercises.  This one is much better as it showcases innovative technology.  I'm glad to see KERS used in something outside of an F1 car.

No thank you. I could be unkind and say the rear 3/4 view looks like an Audi.

Technology makes it no longer a car?  Explain this to me, great Raza.

When they put an engine on a carriage, it was no longer a horse.

That's the worst fucking analogy I've heard in a long time. I'm depressed because you said this.

Fuck, man.

I'm depressed because I had to say it.

Meh.  Gimme a 904 GTS, a Carrera 6, a 959, or a 911 Turbo.  Great effort, nevertheless.

DOODS YOU ARE AWESOME.

Yes the writing and Patrick Stewart's acting was awesome. However the sfx department frakked up big time and had phasers shooting out of the torpedo tube. I guess it is not quite as obvious a mistake as flinging a photon torpedo of the saucer's phaser array but still.

Did they! I never saw that and I almost always see those kinds of F-ups. Got to put the DVD in and take a look.

finally a porsche I can be interested about. Nice pics of the 4wd hybrid Porsche carriage. I think Ferdinand Porsche would be proud of this vehicle, maybe not the styling, but the vehicle overall.

Side port exhaust FTW.
